Today my friends excitedly asked me to go for an art exhibition on dustbunnies because it is weird and awesome. We debated on whether to meet or not as it was already mid afternoon and the exhibit closes at 7pm. One even chipped in excitedly that the works were created by psychiatric patients. Things even got a little emotional where someone threatened to go alone. We went back and forth for a while and eventually one of my friends and myself agreed to see each other at 5.30pm to walk over to the exhibit.

It was at the Alliance Francaise de Singapour, a French Language school and the hub of French culture in Singapore. It had really nice tinted windows.

We spent a good 10 minutes trying to take this photo to make sure that it didn't have our distractive reflections.

Thing is neither of us actually read it to find out which level it was at.

So we ended up combing the building to look for the exhibit.

We then found the exhibition space. And here were some of the works we saw.

These were by Debra Raymond and they feature the oddities of the everyday world, the rat race of modern society.

Duong Nguyen created these and her works touches on the lost sense of belonging when displaced from her home country.

I was most fascinated by the works of Khairulddin Fulgvres which deal with the philosophy, ethics and politics of medicine, death studies and art conveying the vulnerability of life and fragility of the flesh.

It's kinda creepy.

My personal favourites are the works of Fyerool Darma where he assimilates imaginations with reality to conjure a spectrum of emotions and memories. I really like how he used the pastel watery colours in his art as I find these colours very fresh and inspiring.

The last artist is Denise Jillian Tan but I unfortunately couldn't take any nice photos of hers. Her works were rather dark and feature elements of famous children stories which I found rather interesting. Unfortunately my photographic skills are rather limited.

So where were the dustbunny sculptures my friend excitedly talked about?

Well apparently, dustbunny is used as a metaphor for the human condition that is often overlooked or hidden from view that appears mysteriously. This exhibit thus features works that shows the ideas that loom in the dark corners of our minds that we often ignore or neglect. Very different from what we were expecting but nevertheless interesting.

Now isn't it funny that we argued so heatedly on whether to actually meet or not due to various personal reasons but the actual details of the exhibit were not discussed at all. I guess that's what happens when you are so close to the person that you trust them to intrigue you and bring excitement to your life.
